Bring your friends to the table with this unique twist on a classic cheese fondue recipe. The richness of the smooth and creamy cheese is a perfect match for the lightly sweet malt notes in Bohemian Pilsner Urquell. Plus, the spicy and floral Saaz hop aromas complement the Dijon and lemon juice, adding a complexity that’ll wow your crowd.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound Gruyère cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup Bohemian Pilsner Urquell
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
FOR SERVING:
Vegetables, raw or blanched
Sausage, sliced
Country bread or French baguette, cubed
Pretzels
PREPARATION
STEP 1
Toss cheese with flour. Then, in a medium heavy-bottomed pot, add the Bohemian Pilsner Urquell, mustard, lemon juice and Worcestershire, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add cheese as you stir and then cook until it’s completely melted and the mixture is smooth—about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a fondue pot to set over a flame or serve in a warmed, small, heavy pot.
Serving Suggestion: Provide perfectly paired dippers like raw or blanched vegetables, cooked sliced sausage, cubed country bread or baguette, or your favorite kind of pretzels.
Note: If desired, you can use Swiss, raclette or fontina instead of Gruyère.
